Need advice from the married women!!!

So Thing and I ( yes i call him the thing cuz he is freakishly taller then me 6'6) have been looking at cars because we are getting another one. Well i found one that I absolutely love and it is under our price limit. so my question to you is how do I get him to buy this car and not look at any others? I love this car. Its fits my personality personality To a T.

Women can only tell you what they think will work. If you want to actually know you need a man's opinion.

BJ. You're welcome.

I think you're making a mistake in getting this car without looking at others.

But if you're dead set, go with MMDad's suggestion.

What does being married have to do with this decision? Just curious.

Look at some other cars and make an educated decision that you can feel good about instead of manipulating him... (but MMDad is right ).

because married women are better at being con artists.

It will if you stop at the right time. Tell him it's like looking at your dream car then not getting it.

Enjoy your car.

its not really my dream car but it's something to get me by until I can get a better 1 cos I'm only 23 and it is used

Really?! I guess you have a different view of marriage, then. I didn't have to con my husband to do anything.

You're doing your best to manipulate your BF now. If this purchase is a joint purchase, being funded financially by both of you - then it's a joint decision. There should be no manipulation involved from either party.


(FTR, I'm divorced now. For other reasons, not including manipulation)

mitsubishi eclipse. we don't have kids so we don't need a 4 door and it's a convertible

Personally, I think your desire to manipulate is more of an issue to deal with. It is a red flag to me that he wants a '95 model vs a 2006 model & won't let you make the decision. Why do you feel you need to manipulate him? Why won't he consider your opinion - isn't the decision mostly yours if it will be your car?

If he won't respect your opinion in this decision, then wait until you have the money for the entire down payment, and make your payments. It will be YOUR car. Then he will not need to have input. :shrug:

You can't afford to get a car on your own so my advice to you is to get a practical car, not a fun car. My advice... You are 23 now... grow up.
